How can I INSERT data into two tables simultaneously in SQL Server?
Doing a project for school so any help would be great thank you!
I have two tables - how do I insert into two tables? So both tables are linked.
First table is called Customer
with primary key called CID
that auto increments
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Customer](
[CID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[LastName] [varchar](255) NOT NULL,
[FirstName] [varchar](255) NOT NULL,
[MiddleName] [varchar](255) NULL,
[EmailAddress] [varchar](255) NOT NULL,
[PhoneNumber] [varchar](12) NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT [PK__CInforma__C1F8DC5968DD69DC] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
And a second table called Employment
that has a foreign key linked to the parent table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Employment](
[EID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[CID] [int] NOT NULL,
[Employer] [varchar](255) NOT NULL,
[Occupation] [varchar](255) NOT NULL,
[Income] [varchar](25) NOT NULL,
[WPhone] [varchar](12) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK__Employme__C190170BC7827524] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
You need to do something like this:
DECLARE @NewID INT
INSERT INTO Customer(LastName,FirstName,......) VALUES(Value1, Value2, .....)
SELECT @NewID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
INSERT INTO Employment(CID,Employer,.....) VALUES(@NewID, ValueA,..........)
SCOPE_IDENTITY: Returns the last identity value inserted into an identity column in the same scope. A scope is a module: a stored procedure, trigger, function, or batch. Therefore, two statements are in the same scope if they are in the same stored procedure, function, or batch.
